The AFT is funded by Bill Gates and takes its marching orders from Arne Duncan and to the department of education in Washington.

Unfortunately for actual regents subjects, those teachers are linked to their own area. They have no choices. Like I posted 3 YEARS AGO, if you teach in a shit school with shit kids in a shit neighborhood, you're doomed. If you happen to teach in a decent neighborhood where there are some nicer students with actual parents, you are saved. Doesn't matter how great/bad if a teacher you are. It's all ABOUT THE STUDENTS. You can be the best teacher in NYC at a shit school where your scores will find you Ineffective. You can also be the worst teacher in NYC at a great school and the kids will carry you. Bottom line: make sure you're at a decent school, average - above average.

Of course I looked at the overall scores for my school for the past several years and going that the English Regents was highest at around 84% passing. I linked to them and scored very high. Research your schools history on all regents subjects and link to that subject, which is part of the rules for non regents teachers. It's probably English. Do not allow your administration to make the decision for you. You are allowed to link to any subject You choose.

Instead of saying this is a great idea we should organize around, a teacher who probably teaches a non Regents HS subject asks how he/she and his/her colleagues will be rated. They will take the school Regents scores probably. Case closed. Stop worrying about yourself and think of everyone. It would be a great start to a real push back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-65632736983438741792015-01-16T22:25:27.214-05:002015-01-16T22:25:27.214-05:00How do Art, Music, Dance, and Theatre teachers pla...How do Art, Music, Dance, and Theatre teachers play into the 40%?
